Legend Religious

The ancient world was full of many fantastic cities and places, and like today’s major cities, the great ancient cities were hubs of trade, religion, and science. Writing was first invented in ancient cities, and many important scientific discoveries were also made in them, some of which are still used in the modern world. Among the many cities of the ancient world, Rome and Athens may come to mind first, but the city of Babylon in the land of Mesopotamia was already an ancient, venerated city when the others were still inconsequential settlements.

Ophiolatreia is the study of serpent worship, which many people are surprised to discover once existed in every culture of the world.

In this unique and thought provoking audiobook, Gardiner expounds upon the underlying reasons for serpent worship, past and present.
